Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's execution-style shooting near Hernandez's North Attleborough home on June 17.

They say it happened after the two went to a night club a few days earlier and Lloyd, 27, spoke to people Hernandez didn't want him talking to.

Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder.

His lawyers say that the case against Hernandez is circumstantial and that he's eager to clear his name.

Prosecutors say Ernest Wallace and another man, Carlos Ortiz, were in the car with Hernandez when the three men picked up Lloyd on June 17, drove him to an industrial park where he was shot five times.

Hernandez could face life in prison if found guilty but scores of women have taken to Twitter to say he is too attractive to be locked up.

One user called Jannellie wrote: 'Aaron Hernandez is too sexy to be in jail for life.'

Another, going by the name of Gladys, wrote: 'The only thing Aaron Hernandez should be investigated for is how he got so damn sexy. BOOOOOMMMMM'.

Others said his arrest had made him even more attractive.

Melanie Zimmerman wrote: 'Even in handcuffs Aaron Hernandez is still sexy' and Vanessa Harvey said: 'I don't care what Aaron Hernandez did he is still sexy.'
